Congratulations to Navjot Kukreja Dr. Navjot Kukreja - after a fantastic PhD doing exciting, sophisticated and subtle work at the boundary between compilers, DSLs and computational science - he's been snapped up for a faculty position at Liverpool University, as part of their push in HPC.

This is the future - a model for how to build DSLs, and deliver domain-specific optimisations, within an open community ecosystem.

Congratulations Azalea - fantastic proposal, exciting work!

I'm honoured and excited to be giving the opening keynote at the IWOMP workshop next week - talking to the OpenMP community. Looking forward to lots of tough questions!

Really nice article. The other question though is "is this project risky enough, adventurous enough, over-the-horizon enough to be a university research project?". And how do I gamble my career (and the careers of my students) just enough!

Thank you PhD students, challengers (Pari SIngh, Ben Clarke, David Walker, Martin Berger), facilitators (Caragh Dewis & Scott Middleton), colleagues Jamie Targett & Wayne Luk, & from KCL Andrea Bedeschi, who made our #imperialcollege #epsrc #HiPEDS Creativity Sandpit such fun!

Thank you to Alyssa Renata et al for hosting me to speak last night in a new series being co-organised by four cross-faculty #imperialcollege student societies. It’s a lovely initiative. The questions were wonderful and endless. #iccomputing #docsoc medium.com/@imperialinsig…

Congratulations to Marius Koch, for whose PhD I was second supervisor. Thank you Peter Vincent Vincent Lab for making it all happen. Here is Marius's celebratory talk about his amazing work: cassyni.com/events/EAzsG9A… Imperial College London Imperial Computing Imperial Aeronautics

We at Imperial Computing are expanding and looking to hire academics at all levels in all areas of Computer Science. If you're interested, or know someone who should be, please get in touch - deadline 4 Jan: hipeac.net/jobs/#/ - I am happy to advise and encourage!

Robot Web: breakthrough many-robot localisation. Uses efficient, general message passing over dynamic graphs. Accurate and highly robust to sensor/comms failure. Riku Murai Joe Ortiz Sajad Paul Kelly Full video demo: youtu.be/xQcYwONtMN0 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2202.03314

I am thrilled to be involved in this exciting new project. What's especially interesting about this unusual Quantum+ICT call is that our first job is to bring more collaborators on board to do exciting things!

Congratulations to my tutee Zak Cutner, presenting his paper "Deadlock-Free Asynchronous Message Reordering in Rust with Multiparty Session Types" at PPoPP (a top academic conference) (arxiv.org/abs/2112.12693). Based on his MEng project, supervised by the amazing Nobuko Yoshida.

In Ian Walmsley's message to staff today it is claimed the College pay offer amounts to a "mean average increase of 7.1%”. This is a misleading number as it treats the early May increase as a lump sum and then conflates that with the subsequent consolidated increase in August.

The HiPEDS Research Centre is hosting a small workshop here at Imperial College London this September 11-12, on Novel Architectures and Novel Design Automation (“NANDA”). We have an amazing programme - hope you can come: nanda-workshop.org

Happy to share Gaussian Splatting SLAM rmurai.co.uk/projects/Gauss… We show the first 3DGS-based Monocular RGB SLAM, the hardest SLAM setting. Using 3D Gaussians as a unified representation, the method only requires RGB images - No need for SfM, depth sensor, or learned prior.

Thank you to everyone involved in ICHack this weekend, Europe's largest student-run hackathon. And to Simon Peyton Jones for a fantastic keynote! #imperial #computing #ichack

We're hosting a workshop on Novel Architectures and Novel Design Automation (“NANDA”) , Sept 9-10 with amazing speakers: doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/NANDA24/ on transformational computer systems, architectures, accelerators, compilers, synthesis. Hope you can come! HiPEDS CDT Imperial Computing

Less than a month now for the NANDA workshop 9-10 Sept doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/NANDA24/ - the key UK industry-academic community-building event for processor and accelerator architecture research - hope you can come! HiPEDS CDT Imperial Computing
